To all whom fit may concern:

Ee it known that l, Jaoon M. MoINrosH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Warren, in the county of Trumbull and State ot Ohio, have invented certain new and useful mprovements in Bread-Kaisers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, and to the numerals otl reference marked thereon,

. in which Figure 1 is a vertical section. Fig. 2 is a perspective view. Fig. 3 is a detached view of one of the dough pans.

The present invention has relation to bread raisers or more specifically speaking for treating dough and it consists in the ditler ent part-s and combination of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

Similar numerals oit reference indicate corresponding parts in all the ligures of the drawing.

ln the accoinpanying drawing, 1 represents the casing or chamber, which is preferably formed rectangular and of any desired size, which casing is supported by the standards 2, secured in any convenient and Well knoivn manner to t-he casing. These standards 2 will support the chamber or casing 1 in the desired elevation and in such elevation that the lamp 3 can be held in proper relationship with reference to the heat distributing plate 1t, and the bottom 5 of the receptacle 1. The heat distributing plate 4 is spaced a short distance from the bottom 5 and is so spaced tor the purpose hereinafter described. To the casing 1 are attached the shelves t3 and 7 which shelves are substantially ot the torni shown and as shoivn they consist ot parallel bars properly connected together to form sul'licient support for the various dough pans or receptacles. Above the heat distributing plate 4 is located the Water pan 8, Which Water pan rests directly upon the heat distributing plate 1, and is so located for the purpose of better utilizing heat generated trom the lamp 3.

For the purpose of better distributing the heat the heating plate l is provided With a series of apertures 9 which apertures are located substantially as shown in the draivings, in Fig. 1. The heating plate 4: and the bottom 5 are provided With the apertures or openings 10, and 11, which apertures are for the purpose of permitting a portion of the heat generated by the lamp striking the bottom of the Water pan 8, but by spacing the heating plate 4f from the bottom 5, a heating chamber is provided from Which heating chamber some of the heat generated by the lamp will pass through the apertures 9, thereby giving to the Water contained in the Water pan a more uniform temperature The lamp 3 is supported by means of the suspending bars 12 and the tray 13.

For the purpose of adjusting the dist-ance between the top of the lamp chimney 1st and the bottom or underside of the bottom 5, the brackets 15 are provided, Which brackets are attached to the bottom 5 and are provided with a series of attaching loops 16. It will be understood that by this arrangement I am enabled to regulate the degree otl heat required for different stages during the time the dough is rising, that is to say when the dough is in a. mass, and after the dough has been kneaded and molded into loaves for the second rising. The adjustability ot tho lamp tray is to provide for the use of different sized lamps, by which arrangement no specic size of lamp is required. The dough pan 17 is of the usual construction and in use is preferably placed upon the shelf 7. ln Fig. 1 l have illustrated in dotted lines dough pans desired to be used for the second rising of the dough, but it will be understood that When the dough pan 17 is in use the dough pans illustrated in dotted lines are not in use.

For the purpose of closing the chamber and retaining the heat the casing 1 is provided ivith the door 18, which door is of the usual construction. For the purpose of convenience in handling the bread raiser proper the top is provided With the handle 19. For the purpose of providing a means for attaching the suspending rods 12 to the loops the top or upper ends are provided With hooks 20.
